Half life ps2

Half life is the first game in the half life series. Its the game that started it all. That introduced us to Gordon Freeman and the Black Mesa incident. Unfortunatley I missed out on this game back in 98 on pc as I didnt have a pc then. I played Half Life 2 first actually. But Half Life 2 encouraged me to get Half Life on ps2. Yes Half Life 2 was that good. Needless to say Half life 1 did not dissapoint me one bit. The games controls were excellent and Gordon moved very smoothly and stopped on a dime. The controls are very good and that some thing you dont see in games alot now. The sound was ok, not the greatest but it worked to make the game feel intense. The graphis are prettty good but not as flashy as half life 2 eye candy. Of course this is to be expected since the game was released in 98 and then again on the ps2 in 2001 I think. Plus the ps2 isnt known for pretty FPS except for maybe 2 or 3. The weapons models are good and the game has a nice variety of them. From earth based military weapons to alien and experimental top secret type weapons. They all sound as they should as well. There is a variety of enemies in the game. They are all cool looking in my opinion. Plus some platforming is involved and the occasional puzzle. But tjhe one thing Half life is famous for is its story, I cant forget the story. It is top notch. It would rival most hollywood sci fi movies. The game is worth playing just for the back story and getting to take part in some gaming history. You get to see what allowed the combine to get to earth. This game is highy reccomended to any Half Life 2 fan and FPS fan. Its cheap, only $10 when I bought it. I gave it to my nephew a while back but Im going to buy it again just to have it in my collection. Thats how good it is.
